Nicolas Cage denies Dr Who link on Welsh visit
Nov 25 2009 WalesOnline
The actor, 45, stunned fans by quietly sipping coffee in a cafe on the waterfront of weather-battered Cardiff Bay.
Cage refused to disclose why he was in the Welsh capital but dismissed speculation that he is to appear in Dr Who, which is made in Cardiff.
Smiling Cage, who earns £15m a movie, said: Im here for a private business meeting. I like Dr Who but its not what Im here for.
The Oscar-winning star of FaceOff, Gone in 60 Seconds and Ghost Rider who recently spent £25m on Rolls Royces and fancy homes was treated to a cup of coffee in Coffeemania in Cardiff Bay.
He reportedly owes £4m in taxes to the US government and fans say the stress is beginning to show.
Waiter Dariusz Zagula, 25, said: I recognised him instantly, he is one of my favourite actors.
I asked him for his autograph but I was scared to ask for a photo he looked really miserable.
But, lets face it, November storms in Wales are not quite the same as Californian sunshine.
